Chapter 2 THE ADVENT OF THE SPIRIT

{18}

"Therefore the Holy Ghost on this day-Pentecost-descended into the temple of his apostles, which he had prepared for himself, as a shower of sanctification, appearing no more as a transient visitor, but as a perpetual Comforter and as an eternal inhabitant. He came therefore on this day to his disciples, no longer by the grace of visitation and operation, but by the very presence of his majesty."-Augustine.
